1To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Be not silent, O God of my praise! (申10:21; 诗28:1; 诗71:6; 耶17:14)2For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me, speaking against me with lying tongues. (诗52:4)3They encircle me with words of hate, and attack me without cause. (诗69:4)4In return for my love they accuse me, but I give myself to prayer.[1] (诗38:20; 诗69:13)5So they reward me evil for good, and hatred for my love. (诗35:12)6Appoint a wicked man against him; let an accuser stand at his right hand. (代上21:1; 伯30:12; 诗35:4; 诗69:22; 亚3:1)7When he is tried, let him come forth guilty; let his prayer be counted as sin! (箴15:8; 箴21:27; 箴28:9)8May his days be few; may another take his office! (民4:16; 代上24:3; 诗55:23; 徒1:20)9May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow! (出22:24)10May his children wander about and beg, seeking food far from the ruins they inhabit! (创4:12; 诗37:25; 诗59:15)11May the creditor seize all that he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his toil! (申28:43)12Let there be none to extend kindness to him, nor any to pity his fatherless children! (伯5:4; 诗36:10)13May his posterity be cut off; may his name be blotted out in the second generation! (诗21:10; 箴10:7)14May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the Lord, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out! (出20:5; 尼4:5; 耶18:23)15Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth! (诗34:16; 诗90:8)16For he did not remember to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and the brokenhearted, to put them to death. (诗34:18; 诗40:17; 诗109:22)17He loved to curse; let curses come[2] upon him! He did not delight in blessing; may it be far[3] from him! (箴14:14; 结35:6)18He clothed himself with cursing as his coat; may it soak[4] into his body like water, like oil into his bones! (民5:22; 诗73:6; 诗109:29)19May it be like a garment that he wraps around him, like a belt that he puts on every day!20May this be the reward of my accusers from the Lord, of those who speak evil against my life! (诗109:6; 诗109:29)21But you, O God my Lord, deal on my behalf for your name’s sake; because your steadfast love is good, deliver me! (诗23:3; 诗63:3; 诗69:16; 耶14:7)22For I am poor and needy, and my heart is stricken within me. (诗109:16)23I am gone like a shadow at evening; I am shaken off like a locust. (出10:19; 尼5:13; 伯38:13; 诗102:11)24My knees are weak through fasting; my body has become gaunt, with no fat. (伯16:8; 诗35:13)25I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they wag their heads. (诗22:6; 诗22:7; 诗69:19)26Help me, O Lord my God! Save me according to your steadfast love! (诗119:86)27Let them know that this is your hand; you, O Lord, have done it! (伯37:7)28Let them curse, but you will bless! They arise and are put to shame, but your servant will be glad! (撒下16:12; 赛65:14)29May my accusers be clothed with dishonor; may they be wrapped in their own shame as in a cloak! (伯8:22; 诗35:26; 诗71:13; 诗109:18)30With my mouth I will give great thanks to the Lord; I will praise him in the midst of the throng. (诗22:25)31For he stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save him from those who condemn his soul to death. (诗16:8; 诗109:6)
